DineQ Built in Canada, billed in Canadian dollars Which one fits. Yelp Guest Manager fits if Many guests find you on Yelp, Google or Apple Maps and you want them joining from there. You want reservations and the waitlist from one vendor. You want an iPad supplied with the plan. DineQ fits if Most of your wait is walk-ins at the door. You want to pay per location, with texts at the carrier’s price. You would rather use the phones and tablets you already have. You want to be billed in Canadian dollars. Switching. 01 Start a DineQ trial and print the QR sheet for your door. 02 Run both for a week — your host adds walk-ins to DineQ. 03 Check your notice period: Yelp’s agreement asks for 30 days’ written notice to cancel.[2] 04 Return the leased iPad, or buy it out, as the agreement sets out.[2] Run both for a week. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial — no need to switch off anything first.
